. Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 21, 1911. Serial Iva-603,974.

Tofcll w'lzo'mt't may concern: 7 Be it known that I, JOHN W. Roor, acitizen of the United States,

in-the county of Caddo and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new anduse,

lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description-of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to makeand use the same.

This invention relates to the art of churns, and it particularlypertains to a new and useful churn, in which there are in-- volvedvarious novel features of construction.

The main object of the invention is the provision'of a pair of churningelements or dashers including means for imparting rotary movements tothe elements, in order to rotate them in opposite directions. By thisinethod cream may be rapidly churned, and

m such a manner as to prevent the cream from being splashcd'up the.sides of the cream container. the churning'elements or dashers arearranged side by side in parallel relation.

,A further object; of the invention is to lessen the cost of'manufacturing such devices.

A further object of the invention is to lessen the number of arts andelements of churns, so that the ousewlfe, farmer or farmers wife willhave fewer parts to clean after churning, for example, the churningelements or dashers are the only elements.

to becleaned after churning, by reason of the fact that the creamcontainer (which may be the usual form of stone jar or other receptacle,which ordinarily holds the cream) holds the buttermilk after the butteris removed. The container with the buttermilk therein is then placed inthe dairy. A further feature of the invention is the provision of novelmeans for permitting the cream container.v to be inserted in place orremoved.

In-the drawings, however, there is only disclosed one form of theinvention, but in practical fields this form may require alterations, towhich the applicant is entitled, rovided the alterations arecomprehendedy the appended claims.

.The invention comprises further features and combination-of partshereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a side eleresiding at.

features of the invention. Fig. 2is a lon- I gitudinal verticalsectional view through the churn. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig.

, 2, showing the churning elements 'or dashers ful Churn; and I dohereby declare thefolso arranged as to permit the creamcontamer to beinserted in lace or removed. Fig. 4 1s a transverse sectional view online 44 of F ig; 2.

As to the annexed drawings,.1 designates a standard,'including a base 2and a laterally extending upper portion 3. The portion 3 is arrangeddirectly'over andabovc I the base 2. The base is so connected tothestandard 1, as shown at 4, by means of a hinge, in order to permit thestandard to be swung on the base, after having been re :leased bydisengaging the spring catch 4 from the recess 4 of the base. The objectin swinging thestandard 1 on its hinge is to permit the churningelements to be insorted in the cream container 5 be the usual form ofstone jar).

To hold the cream container 5 properly centeredthe base 2 is formed withan annular slightl upstanding flan e6, which encircles the ower portionof the container when in place. It will be observed that by theprovision of this flange the container 5 is held centered, so that thechurning ele:

.ments 7 and 8 will rotate centrally therein.

(which may The churning elements or dashers 7 and 8 are connected totheir revoluble shafts or rods 9 and 10, as at 10 and '11, in such amanner as to permit them to be raised relatively with regard to theshafts, so that the cream container, may be inserted in place orremoved. The revoluble shaftspr rods are so connected to the churningelements as to permit the churning elements to rotate with them, asshown in Fig. 4.

" The lower ends of the shafts or. rods 9 and 16 does not mesh with thegear 17, but is a in mesh with the gear sothat when motion is impartedto the gear 15, thus rotatingit in one direetion, the gear 16 will berotated inthe opposite direction. By this method rapid rotary motionsare imparted to the churn elements. The ear .1? is formed with alaterally rojectm handle whereby the same may e rotate manuall v v Tooperate the churn the usual form of stone jar with theeream therein isinserted in place, subsequently to raisin the churning elements, afterwhichthe c urning elements are again lowered, until they are entirelyreceived within the jar. After the various parts are arranged as shownin Figs. 1 and 2, motion may be imparted to I tion overhanging the base;revolu the gear 17, which in turn transmits motion to the churningelements by virtue of the gears 15 and 16.

' The invention havingbeen set forth,

what is claimed as new and useful is 1.- A churn embodying a standardhaving a laterally extending base, and provided with a laterallyextending upper pormounted in bearings. of the overhanging portion, andineludin 'raisable churning elements rotatable wit the shafts, memberscarried by the shafts engaging the churning elements to revent them fromscraping the bottom 0 a cream container; means for imparting oppositerotary movements le shafts to the shafts; a cream container into whichings of the overhanging portion, means for revolubly operating theshaftsin opposite directions,; a-pa1r of churning elements having oifsetintegral sleeves corresponding shaped relative to the shafts in crosssection, so as to telescope thereon, thus making it possible to raisethe churnin elements to permit of the insertion o the cream 'container,and removable devices threaded into the lower end of the shaft forlimiting the downward movement of the churning element, said removabledevices acting as means for adjusting the churning elements in thecontainer. v I

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
